Paper Abstract:	This paper1 describes the main elements of the service architecture needed to support Mobile teaching and M-Learning within a Distributed e-Learning Center (DeLC). The paper outlines a model known as an enhanced DeLC network model along with its supporting communications infrastructure and explains the manner in which such a model can be used to provide intelligent mobile services for library users and information seekers across a University campus. Models for the classification and addressing of DeLC services are proposed. The main types of the DeLC mobile services are considered as they function within the environment of a campus-wide information network and examples of them are described. Finally a re-engineering approach for developing the second enhanced version of DeLC is proposed. This enhanced version allows improved mobile learning facilities in the library/information environment and at other key access points across the University campus, which facilitates mobile and interactive developments for both students and staff.
